During the Eastern and Southern African Trans/Gender Identity Institute workshop hosted in Cape Town in December 2008, Gabrielle Le Roux collaborated with Victor Mukasa and the other individual activists by drawing portraits of ten sub-Saharan African trans and intersex activists. Each person wrote a personal activism message on their own portrait. This activism-art work, titled Proudly African & Transgender, later travelled the world to raise awareness.
